The Challenge
EVA Real Estate
EVA Real Estate, one of Dubai's top 3 real estate agencies, was running their entire CRM and ERP infrastructure on AWS. While the service was reliable, the monthly costs were becoming unsustainable as the business grew.
Key pain points included unpredictable costs with hidden charges, data stored outside of Europe creating GDPR concerns, vendor lock-in making it difficult to migrate, and a complex pricing model that was difficult to optimize.
The Results
Through our comprehensive migration strategy, we moved EVA's infrastructure to dedicated Hetzner servers in Germany, achieving an 86% cost reduction while improving performance and gaining full data sovereignty.
The annual savings of €13,200 paid for the migration costs within 4 months.

"With Timo and Robin, you're not only on the safe side technically - you also get the best human support! Whether it's quick help in everyday life or complex IT solutions: the guys from WZ-IT think along with you, act quickly and speak a language you understand. The collaboration is uncomplicated, reliable and always on an equal footing. That makes IT fun - and above all: it works! Big thank you to the team! (translated) "
Timo and Robin from WZ-IT set up a RocketChat server for us - and I couldn't be more satisfied! From the initial consultation to the final implementation, everything was absolutely professional, efficient, and to my complete satisfaction. I particularly appreciate the clear communication, transparent pricing, and the comprehensive expertise that both bring to the table. Even after the setup, they take care of the maintenance, which frees up my time enormously and allows me to focus on other important areas of my business - with the good feeling that our IT is in the best hands. I can recommend WZ-IT without reservation and look forward to continuing our collaboration! (translated)
We have had very good experiences with Mr. Wevelsiep and WZ-IT. The consultation was professional, clearly understandable, and at fair prices. The team not only implemented our requirements but also thought along and proactively. Instead of just processing individual tasks, they provided us with well-founded explanations that strengthened our own understanding. WZ-IT took a lot of pressure off us with their structured approach - that was exactly what we needed and is the reason why we keep coming back. (translated)
Robin and Timo provided excellent support during our migration from AWS to Hetzner! We received truly competent advice and will gladly return to their services in the future. (translated)
WZ-IT set up our Jitsi Meet Server anew - professional, fast, and reliable. (translated)
